Abstract
A vehicle thermal management system is disclosed comprising a first and a second coolant circuit each comprising a coolant pump. The first coolant circuit comprises a coolant duct configured to conduct coolant flow through a portion of the first coolant circuit, and an expansion tank connected to the coolant duct. The system further comprises a first connecting conduit connecting the second coolant circuit to the coolant duct, and valve controllable between a first state in which the valve hinders flow of fluid through the first connecting conduit, and a second state in which the valve allows flow of fluid through the first connecting conduit. The present disclosure further relates to a vehicle comprising a vehicle thermal management system.

A vehicle thermal management system comprising:
- a first and a second coolant circuit each comprising a coolant pump, wherein the first coolant circuit comprises:
- a coolant duct configured to conduct coolant flow through a portion of the first coolant circuit;
- and
- an expansion tank connected to the coolant duct;
- a first connecting conduit connecting the second coolant circuit to the coolant duct;
- and
- a valve controllable between a first state in which the valve hinders flow of fluid through the first connecting conduit, and a second state in which the valve allows flow of fluid through the first connecting conduit to deair the second coolant circuit via the expansion tank.
